Welcome aboard, Tim!

For people like me, who are proficient in Perl and Java, Ruby is remarkably, perhaps irresistibly, attractive. Over the last week I’ve got an unreasonable amount of work done in a ridiculously short period of time, with lots of interruptions, in a language I previously didn’t know. It’s intuitive enough that I’ve often found myself guessing at a syntax or a method or a usage and getting it right first time.

Welcome aboard, Tim! As for myself, I’m besotted with Python – for almost all the same reasons Tim loves Ruby. Perhaps that’s because I never had the pleasure of learning Perl first.
